I own the ikea one. It's my dresser. I will sell you that it is wonderful, but giant. We have our tv, dvd player, and box and still have room. The top comes just shy of my chest (I'm 5'7").

oh wow that sounds pretty high, especially since I am only 5'4" and I would be putting our changing pad on top lol

we may have a problem there

It wouldn't be good for that. We have 2 Ikea kids wardrobes set up a a system with a changing table in between for our son. It's way better than just drawers. I can post a pic for ya.

yes please do, thank you

Here's a pic I took earlier. We have 2 of these wardrobes. One on each side of the changing table. One has 2 big drawers on the bottom, and shelves on top. The other looks like it's 2 things of shelves with doors, but the bottom has wire basket drawers and the top is shelves. I have everything from socks, clothes, diapers, to linen in this set up all organized.

A better pic of the changing table and a little look at the other wardrobe.

I really like that set up and I love the storage units!

Our only problem is that our son's room is practically all windows except for where his crib is and where his closet is, so I thinkt they might be a little too tall?

Probably, unless you put curtains up to block the backs. We keep our curtains closed all the time in the babies rooms anyways. Since they go to bed so early the light bothers them.

We have the Delta one and we really like it. We have a lot of Ikea furniture and I will say the Delta is more sturdy, expensive feeling than our Ikea stuff but the Ikea one looks nice too. It's called black cherry but to me it's more espresso than cherry for sure. I love the color. We have an espresso bookshelf next to it and they go well. We got ours from Target. If you have a Target card it's 5% off and free shipping.

Oh, btw we have the Delta and use it as a changing table as well. It fits the changing pad and a caddy with diapers, wipes, etc. and is a good height for changing (I'm only 5'2").

This is my kids room. You can see the dresser with the changing pad on the right. We've used the dresser with matching crib for DS and now DD. DS's twin bed is cherry (I could kick myself because I should have gotten espresso) and the shelf under the window is espresso (a much better match).

I am leaning towards the delta, we currently have something similar but I'm ready for our little man to have his own instead of a hand me down, besided I'm a little OCD and the fact that the crib and dresser are completely different colors has finally taken it's toll on me

We have the same glider and shelp under the window!!

The dresser looks great

oh and btw your son's bed looks fine
